Hi, if you're in England the practice guidance booklet / cards are the non-statutory element of eyfs - last link on this page, it exists to help ensure settings see ways of complying with the statutory requirements xx



--------------------------
EYMP 3 1.1 explain the welfare requirements and guidance of the relevant early years framework
CU1535 - Promote children's welfare and well being in the early years

what if you are in wales because i cant find anything about wales are they the same

[Ruthierhyme]

Hi, no not the same, some of the guidance documents outside of the actual foundation phase's statutory framework & statutory assessment requirements can be found on this page of Wales.gov.uk

Inside the framework, if you press the Ctrl button on your keyboard and the F key together, it'll open up a 'find panel on the right hand side of the PDF. Enter 'statutory' into the search field to locate what the Welsh EY's framework expects relevant settings to have implemented xx

i have this book but still cant find anywhere that says welfare requirements is it suitable people or suitable person, documentation etc

[Ruthierhyme]

ahh, the welfare requirements are organised a little differently, the welsh standards are regulated by the CSSIW, they're published independantly of the foundation phase framework. You can find them on this link Welsh childminding and daycare services and the launch page on CSSIW

About Estyn and the Glossary of terms is a good read
Self evaluation manual

Whistleblowing - model policy for schools page 17 details how to raise a concern and pg 23 provides a list of contacts external to an organisation.

It's a big read - safeguarding children working together under the childrens act 2004 is excellent, take a little time over it as you'll find it covers a huge amount of safeguarding, child protection information.
Your local .gov.uk website & LSCB site will also help with how the information in that document is delivered locally.
